Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has been sent for an MRI scan by German national team medics after picking up a knee injury.

The 25-year-old will have the scan with Germany team doctor Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt on Wednesday, determining if he can play in the Euro 2016 qualifiers against Poland and the Republic of Ireland.

Jens Grittner, spokesman for the German Football Association (DFB), confirmed that Ozil is being monitored.

He tweeted: "Second training without [André] Schürrle (individually at the hotel) and Ozil. He had travelled with knee problems, is to have an MRI scan in Munich."

The midfielder played the full 90 minutes Sunday's London derby, where the Gunners lost 2-0 to Chelsea.

German officials state that he travelled to them with the knee problems and did not pick up the damage in their prescene.

Ozil missed Germany's 2-1 win against Scotland in August after picking up an ankle injury while featuring for Arsenal.
